Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar observed by Muslims globally with the sighting of the new moon.

Being the holiest month of the year, millions of Muslims strengthen their spiritual health and self-discipline through reflection, fasting, prayer and charity thus allowing themselves to become closer to God.

The end of Ramadan is marked by the sighting of the new moon, welcoming the day of celebration called Eid ul-Fitr. This day commemorates the bounty of reward for those who observed the holy month through fasting, prayer, abstaining from negative habits, and stiving to earn the pleasure of God.

1st Day of Ramadan is March 12

You are more than welcome to follow your local mosques/masjids who may have started on March 11.
